I have a spare BLOX intake manifold laying around, and I was thinking of putting it into my b16. However, before doing this I would like to know if anyone knows first hand or seen any power increase? If so can you provide me an approximation of increase? (B16a2 stock intake manifold vs BLOX intake manifold)
The engine has i/h/e.
Also are there anything needed to be done after installing BLOX, like tuning the ecu?

Don't waste your time.

Its not really worth it because it won't change much. I would read this...

Thank you, very educational.
It's odd though, stock tb is 60mm and the BLOX tb that i have is 70mm. Just a tad bit disapointed :/

What's odd about it? You're SUPPOSED to run a matching throttlebody with it.

Yeah thats what i mean with the matching tb size, but i was just expecting gain (overall and not just the top end) because of 10mm difference.
Of course i would buy the matching tb with the BLOX IM if i do install it -_-

I could see you using that setup if you woke the motor up with a bump of compression and/or a set of R cams.

As is the original manifold/head/ect flow sufficent for its stock form and stock ecu mapping.
